How can you tell if it’s just a difficult period and not depression?

Sometimes this line is not very clear, notes practicing psychologist Yana Kobets. We all experience fatigue, exhaustion, loss of motivation, or a low mood from time to time — especially now, in a period of uncertainty and constant challenges. We also tend to dismiss our feelings with phrases like “I’ll just push through” or “everyone has it hard,” ignoring signals from our mind and body.

How can you tell the difference between a difficult life period and depression? What signs should you pay close attention to, and when is it important not to deal with it alone? Our psychologist explains all of this in her video.

Watch and share. Take care of yourself and don’t ignore your condition.
